Recap...

Maybe I'm not meant to be a blogger? Why can't I just take a picture and write a few words? I've missed so much. Even so, I am happy to see some improvement in my craft, and so a progression as I've practiced a few styles I've picked up from the amazing library I've collected this year. So, though there is a lot missing, I am going to throw up a ton of pictures, so that in a year I can look back with some idea of how I got to where I am.

Applique. Aranzi Arono and Cath Kidston inspired. Seems weird to combine the two? Welcome to my wacky world of craft.






And then there's felt. Thanks to Purl Soho for moving, and offering free shipping for the week, I ended up with a bundle of felt I had no plans for. But now it's gone. Made into New Orleans themed Tabasco toppers, and coffee sleeves. For the NOLA collection, there's the Fleur, Blue Dog, Mr. Red Bean and Mrs. Rice, Tulane (WOO!!), Plum Street Sno-balls, and New Orleans iconic "go cup". As for the coffee sleeves, my Dad alwaaaays orders grande Verona, no room. Now his coffee sleeve can order for him. OOps and almost forgot about my little voodoo guy. Don't worry, he's not evil and neither am I. But he will make a freaky-cool new pincushion for me.



Hee hee, I love staged photos.


And on to the randoms. A pieced together tote bag for Margot.



Beanbags! I went through a phase of making lots of beanbags. These triangle ones are groovy, and take little pieces of fabric. I love this Japanese print!
A pillow for Nashy
This one is funky... it's a belt Nash and I made for his teacher for her birthday! The design is from Kid Made Modern by Todd Oldham and it's ducktape and fabric woven together. It's pretty cool actually!


And some bean-butt bunnies.


I've been working on a big project, but not ready to reveal yet :)
